The Manx cat is a breed of cat that does not have a tail. This breed is known for its short, stubby tail, which can range from barely-there to completely absent. The Manx cat is also known for its intelligence and affectionate nature.
The Manx cat's lack of tail is the result of a genetic mutation that causes severe disease. The true (or 'rumpy') Manx has only a small hollow where the tail would have been, although cats with residual (stumpy) tails are also born.
